Visine Tears

[samperson]

What is the experience with Visine Tears? Does it really matter as opposed to others, e.g., GenTeal?

Visine uses Benzalkonium Chloride as a preservative for most of its products.

Benzalkonium Chloride causes significant harm to eyes--especially dry eyes.

I used the preservative free Visine vials and was disappointed when I bought them because they were not re-sealable. I used the Tears Naturale preservative free which can be resealed and used for 12 hours.

Mentioned this before

I have been using the new Visine Pure Tears since they came out right before the trip to Mayo in Dec. This is a preservative free drop in a bottle and I love them. They're so great to stick in a purse, pocket or whatever. So valuable when traveling. The rest of the Visine products are really not good, they all have preservatives I believe. But the Visine Pure Tears are my favorite now. So convenient.

I googled Visine Pure Tears, and I saw that the bottle is exact the same as the one of Hylocomod (Ursapharm). I agree, it's very, very convenient!
